Chuck Todd Rips House Republican For Defending Trump's 180 Flip On Debt Ceiling

As much as I find MTP host Chuck Todd irritating, he does come through as sensible now and then. Like he did with Byron Donalds(R-FL), "But you realize how partisan that sounds," Todd told Rep. Byron Donalds as the lawmaker defended Trump's debt ceiling flip-flop. Todd also added.....“What is good for me is not for thee. He’s basically saying, ‘When I’m president, there’s no negotiating on this but — hey — when somebody else is president, screw ’em.’”

NBC’s Chuck Todd knocked Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) for defending former President Donald Trump’s “absurd” flip on using the debt ceiling as leverage in negotiations. (You can check out Todd’s comments in the clip below.)

The “Meet the Press” host asked Donalds on Sunday whether he would be “comfortable” with a debt ceiling deal that could pass in Congress but isn’t embraced by progressives or the hard-right Freedom Caucus. When Donalds didn’t give a straight answer, Todd cut to a clip of Trump from 2019.

Well, forever.

Repukes…yeah, not so much.

“Terrorizing the nation in our mad quest for power since 1968”, maybe?
